pickA dizzying ride through the mind of Patricia Highsmith, the author of Strangers On A Train. Or was it? A blend of fact and fiction, it‘s difficult to know which are the facts and which fiction, so in that the author has succeeded. Not my favourite book this month but still intriguing. #Pop19 #NovelBasedOnATrueStory #ReadingWomensChallenge #HistoricalFictionBook
#BookMail Pt2 This one was another recommendation from @SavidgeReads booktube channel. It‘s a fact based fiction about a period in author Patricia Highsmiths life where she retreated to a cottage in Suffolk under the guise of concentrating on her writing but she also has another motive-a married lover. Enter Ginny, a journalist there for an interview and things take a dark turn.
Today's library book haul! I've been waiting for THE CONFUSION OF LANGUAGES since finishing Fallon's book of short stories in May. Can't wait to read all of these...hopefully!

pickThis is a fictionalised account of Patricia Highsmith's time spent in England in the 1960s (around the time she was writing Deep Water) and Dawson has a lot of fun recreating and imagining what this might have been like for Highsmith. Can't help feeling like I should have read more of her before reading this but I'll definitely be doing so now...
I'm sure to miss most of the references, but I'm enjoying it all the same
Out today (UK)! A brilliant and sincere tribute to crime maven and Virago Modern Classic author Patricia Highsmith. The attention to detail is seriously impressive.
